THE VILLAIN CAUGHT.

Speaking about dogs" said a
Halsted street actor to a Chicago
Herald reporter, "remainds me OF
n little incident that occurred up at
the opera house several years ago.
The stock company was playing
some wild and woolly Western
tragedy, and the thrilling feature
of the third act WAS the pursuit by
n ferocious blood hound of the vii
lain of the play. AS the dog was
quite blind it was found necessary
in order to make the chase inspir-
iting, to tie piece of raw beef be-
meath the coat tails of the villain,
and then "sic" the brute after him,
when he was about half way across
the stage. All went well until the
third night of the engagement,
when the dog, objecting to the ham
dicap, sprang away from his keeper
before the villain had got his ac-
customed start, and nabbed him in
the cane brake near the center of
the stage. What geemed to grieve
the villain was the fact that the
dog seemed to prefer warm meat to
the beafsteak. For a moment all
was confusion, but the unhappy
actor was finally rescued just as
his buckskin pantaloons were
about to fall off. The dog chase
was cut out of the play next day.

THE TEXAS DROUTH,

A Galveston, Texas, dispatch of
the 18th inst, says; The past week
has been one of expectancy and dis
appointment to the people of Texas,
no rains of any consequence having
fallen throughout the immense area
now suffering from drouth. Dis
patches and letters to the newspa-
pers continue to detail the wide
spread and threatening character
of the drouth, the severity of which
has perceptibly increased since the
last report. The drought now ex-
tends from the far west grazing
lands across the state for distance
of eight hundred miles into the
pine regions bordering on Louisiana,
but decreases in severity as it APP
proaches the pineries, from which
section the complaints are of recent
date. Wholesale houses of this city
arc calling their drummers off the
road as country merchants refuse
to buy pending the uncertainty OF
the crop outlook.

THE TRIBUNE.
SOME BIG LIES,

Mr.. J. Ofden, of jamestown,
Dakota, has a natural curiosity In
the shape of pig, which came in
to the world headless and hairless,
but with a horn sticking out OF
each end of it's neck like the tusk OF
an infant rhinoceros. Its feet are
like the hoofs of horse, and there
is hump sticking out from its
back, which is supposed to be the
missing head. The pig has but
one eye. 1t lived for a week and
was apparently hearty, but is now
preserved in alcohol.
A negro Of the name of Wiley
Smith, of Baker county, Georgia,
is said by the Savannah News, to be
physical curiosity. Ten years
ago he was one of the blacklist men
to be found in the state, but today
his skin is of a light gingerbread
color. The change in him was first
noticed in his finger tips, whence it
spread up his arms and then down
his body. The back of his hands
are still quite black, and dark spots
still remain on his face and give it
n strangely notified appearance.
A farmer named Orion, living
near Byhalia, Miss, some time ago
became the father of child which
is naturally formed as far as the
body and lower limbs are concern
ed, but whose head resembles that
of rooster. On the top of the
head, which is narrow and runs up
into peak, is diminutive comb
of bright red color, and the nose
looks like the beak of game
cock. The eyes are small and pro-
tuberant, but the VISIONS clear and
distinct. The child is not old
enough to talk, and his attempts to
do SO sound exactly like ROSTERS
